Officer Highlight: President

My name is Ashley. I am currently the President of the HSO, an Ambassador for the Honors Program, and a part-time student here at ACC. I'm a former English major who just recently changed her focus to an AAS: Radio-Television-Film: Film & Emerging Media Production. I found the Honors program by taking an English course with the professor who turned out to be in charge of the program. She suggested I take an Honors Course, so I took her honors course. From there I found my place onto the team of Honors Ambassadors. That is where I discovered the HSO. I ran for Secretary and won and then put in my bid for President at the next election. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

 I wanted to be President of the HSO because I loved the Honor's classes that I took, and I wanted to be a part of growing the community I saw being built inside of them. When a class would end, there was nowhere for that community to go. I wanted to help change that. I also knew that it was important to someone who believed in me when I needed it most (remember that professor I spoke of earlier?).  So, naturally, it became important to me as well. 

 For those of you who are wondering if you should take Honors courses. The answer: YES! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OF COURSE! FOR SO MANY REASONS! 

 First of all, the classes are small and the professors are passionate about the awesome topics they choose to cover in their classes. So, not only does the student have more voice, so does the professor. You will have a much more fulfilling experience with the conversations in these classes because you are far less likely to feel drowned out by 30 other voices. 

 Secondly, the opportunities are plenty. I have not only spruced up my resume, earned a few recommendation letters, and greatly improved my networks, but I also have a job with the program now! This program really is what you make of it. You can take the course and stop there, or you can run with it. 

 I chose to run with it. Will you run with me? 

 -Ashley Walpole

 President of the HSO

Community College Volunteers Help Keep Austin Beautiful

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Austin Community College volunteers are doing their part not to "Keep Austin Weird," but maintaining its beauty on Saturday.

ACC kicked off Earth Week early with a series of events in partnership with the annual Keep Austin Beautiful day Saturday, April 13. Students, faculty, staff, and community volunteers were scheduled to gather and clean trash in heavily traveled areas and tend to campus gardens:

ACC Highland Business Center (5930 Middle Fiskville Rd.) | 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. — Collect litter Roy Guerrero Park (400 Grove Blvd) | 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. — Collect litter Cypress Creek Campus (1555 Cypress Creek Road, Cedar Park, TX ) | 1 p.m. to 4 p.m — Mulch campus butterfly garden, weed around facilities, paint campus signs, make seed balls, clean benches & tables, and collect litter

"Each one of us is responsible for keeping our environments clean. Be that our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, or parks," said Brenda Kolas, ACC Degree Audit Specialist and clean-up organizer. "Volunteers from Austin Community College, as well as the city-wide Austin community, will put that responsibility into action. It is important to me that Riverbats are represented in this effort."

Registration is recommended, but not required. ACC also will host dozens of additional volunteer opportunities during Earth Week April 22 through April 26. For more information, visit austincc.edu/earthweek.

It’s unclear if the volunteer teams were able to make it out to the targeted sites on Saturday as thunderstorms swept through the area.

I Reddit and Don’t Regreddit; or, A Millennial Discovers the Internet

Late last Spring, after some footloose years without a ride of my own, I finally got a (to me) new car. With few exceptions, I hadn't driven for many years.

Aside from the paradoxical freedom one experiences when committing to a major purchase, I quickly remembered—lest I had forgotten—the weight of responsibility: Not only toward being a safe driver but also in the matter of paying one’s bills and the regular upkeep of maintenance. As a college student, the bills and maintenance part can be something of a juggling act.

Maybe everything will just go smoothly, I thought while unironically queuing up ‘Enya’s Greatest Hits’ in my new speakers.

...Two weeks later, the clutch pedal began to squeak.

Although I was quite certain that the chirping sound emanating from my nimble footwork was truly innocuous, I still relentlessly tortured myself with images of single bolts out of place that, in a freak event of chain reaction, would somehow destabilize the delicate inner machinery holding together my little go-cart. Moreover, I considered how such a fiasco would impede or even put me out of work as a part-time delivery driver.

And then, it dawned on me: This isn't 1999, the internet exists and I, a Millennial, would use it to my advantage; even despite the intimidating online know-how of Gen Z.

Only months before had I finally gotten around to joining Reddit, “The Front Page of the Internet” so they say. I was 15 when YouTube debuted in 2005 and, even though Reddit also began that year, I wouldn’t learn of its existence until many a moon later.

Gingerly, I opened the app on my phone and took a video of my dreadfully squeaky clutch. With bated breath, I shared my video to the related subreddit and waited...

Ding!

“Give it some WD-40 and call it a day,” the message read. Based on the comment’s upvotes, the community consensus was unanimous. I thanked my Reddit savior, went to the store, and applied the magic serum of WD-40 as advised. And tah-dah! I had just "reddited" my problem away.

"This isn't 1999, the internet exists, and I, a Millennial, would use it to my advantage."

When I was in high school, we had nothing like Reddit. Sure, Google and quasi-social media were a thing (who needed friends when we had Tom from Myspace), but multifaceted communities-within-communities? Hardly.

Because the internet I knew was the one I had grown up with, it was the one I had always lived by.

Now, for anyone out there like me still trying to paste some HTML code into your Myspace profile, you might not know what makes Reddit so fantastically different from every other social media platform. For me, Reddit is like the premise of the movie The Martian. In life, we’re all just trying to figure out the best way to get home. Despite it being a network of anonymous strangers and despite all the drawbacks that anonymity can sometimes present to a community, Reddit is the most intelligent, most honest, and most helpful corner of the internet.

While I’m sure I’ll come back here again in 10 years with late insights into Discord and TikTok, I'm going to keep searching for my community. The internet has not always been our friend, but getting to be a part of what keeps us connected makes me happy.

I suppose it’s true: I reddit and don’t regreddit.

Only this ridiculous pun.

-Aaron Turner, HSO Social Media Team Lead
